These final few weeks are always chaotic. We always have an abundance of injuries to deal with, but it becomes more problematic when you throw tanking teams into the mix. The cherry on top is when we have good teams resting players, and it’s led to one of our lengthiest injury reports all year. We didn’t even include any of the Spurs in it because who knows who will suit up for that team? We also have numerous double-digit spreads, so it will be a chaotic card!

Core Plays
Kristaps Porzingis (PF/C – WAS): $9,000 DraftKings, $8,900 FanDuel
The Wizards are falling out of playoff contention, but it’s certainly not this guy’s fault. Porzingis is amid a career year in the nation’s capital, averaging over 40 DraftKings points per game. He’s also scored at least 51 DK points in 11 of his last 21 games and could be asked to do more with Kuzma and Beal both nicked up. The matchup is the best part, though, with the Spurs sitting last in both points allowed and defensive efficiency. In their last matchup, KP provided 54 DK points!
Fred VanVleet (PG – TOR): $8,700 DraftKings, $8,900 FanDuel
VanVleet got off to a slow start, but the former All-Star is cruising right now. He’s scored at least 44 DraftKings points in seven of his last nine games, generating a 47-point average in that span. That should be easy to reach against this dastardly Detroit defense, with the Pistons ranked 28th in defensive efficiency and 29th in points allowed. That was on full display when FVV had 55 DK points against them earlier in the year.

What are Player Props?
Player props refer to wagers that bettors can make based on player performance in a specific game. The majority of player props are built around the most common statistical benchmarks for a specific sport such as yards and touchdowns in football. Most player props are straight over/under plays that open at or near -110 and are adjusted based on where the money lands. Examples of basketball player prop bets include over/under bets on points, assists, rebounds, three-pointers made, blocks, or steals.
